"Drie putti rond een medaillon" is an etching by the Dutch artist Simon Fokke, created between 1722 and 1784. The artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts three cherubs surrounding a blank circular medallion. The scene is framed by a lush landscape and features elements like a crown of laurel leaves, a flowing waterfall, and a mask, referencing the artistic and theatrical themes of the 18th century. The etching's small size, measuring 133mm in height and 92mm in width, suggests it was likely created for a private collection or as a decorative element within a larger work.
